The meaning behind Whirling Dervishes (Mevlevis) is so powerful đź’«
It’s an active form of meditation where the Dervishes (semazens) use the spinning as a way to connect to god.
To witness such a practice is so special and sacred..🥹
They enter the room wearing a tall and brown hat representing their ego’s tombstone and they’re wearing a black cape that represents their current life (before spirituality).
They’re spinning around with one arm up to the sky (connection to God) and one arm down to the Earth.
They take from God to give to the people.
In the Sufi path, repentance, sincerity, remembering and love are “fundamental stages and states of the spiritual novice’s transformative journey, emphasizing the importance of embracing both human limitations and God’s limitless love.”
Love & Light ✨🤍✨
